If you vote for Donald Trump this year you’re voting for what he is now, not what you thought he’d be four years ago

I’m seeing a lot of people defending their vote for Trump by brininging up reasons they thought he’d been a great president four years ago. They thought that he’d be a good president, or at the very least a good “vanity president.” Someone that would look good in office, speak eloquently, and supplant a level of confidence that the government was being taken care of. <br><br>Donald Trump is not that man. He’s not a vanity president, he’s shown himself to be greedy, promiscuous, and ill-tempered. He refuses to listen to experts when they disagree with him, he outright ignores the advice of experts, and he refuses to act like a president. If you’re voting for him you’re voting for the man he is now, not what you thought he’d be. <br><br>This is the man you would be voting for. If you vote for him you support his poor decisions, and condone his poor actions. There is no more room for self-delusion because we know the reality of his presidency, we know what he’s done, and we know what he’s doing now. So I implore you to really think about what you’re doing if you’re still set on voting for him, because one way or another you can only blame yourself.<br><br>Edit: I want to clear up one thing that seems to be a common miss-understanding in the comments. I’m not saying Trump was ever a good person. I’m saying there was a window of time where people could imagined he was a good person, or could be a good president. Plenty of people voted for him thinking he’d change into a more serious and humble president. My theory is this couldn’t have lasted past the first year of his presidency. At this point after four years of confirmation he is the type of man you’ve seen him act like.
